I've finally finished uni for the summer, yayyyy! With festival season just around the corner and as i'm going to Wireless Festival i've started to gather outfit ideas as i'm going for two days, so I need to make sure i've got some really cool but comfortable outfits sorted as I can never pack light and this is where this post has come from. I thought i'd share a few of my outfit idea's so far and maybe get you guys inspired a little if you're going to any festivals.

This first outfit is more of a grungy style of outfit with the festival classic statement tie-dye piece and somewhat tough but still cute accessories! The dress I thought would be perfect, seeing as it is oversized it will be comfortable throughout the day and if it goes off chilly during the night a simple leather jacket could be thrown on and would still work really well. I've been lusting over these sandals for a few weeks now (and I may just treat myself on payday) and I thought they would work so well with this dress and the simple black satchel would also work great seeing as you're not going to be carrying much and will tie in with the sandals. The simple triangle necklace and cute urban rings would finish off this look, staying with the cute yet grungy feel of this outfit.

I'm actually considering this outfit, seeing as it's quite affordable and would work so well for a chilled out festival look.

This outfit is a more fun girly style outfit but again with a somewhat grunge type feel coming through from the accessories. I spotted this dress on Miss Guided and instantly fell in love with it, skater style baby doll dresses are so cute for summer and teaming with the floral Motel kimono to add a small pop of colour. Of course the Topshop Arabel boots were going to make an appearance in one of these looks and I think they would compliment this outfit so well by adding a little grunge feel and the tassel backpack would just add to this. Finishing this off with a simple gold bar necklace and tadah!
I also love this outfit, I like how it has a somewhat girly yet grunge feel that looks super cute and summer ready.

With this outfit I was going for a more casual minimal look, but adding something with more statement accessories. A simple oversized grey tee tucked into high waisted levi's is the most obvious festival style outfit but works really well. Teamed with a statement necklace and heavy bangles adds something to this outfit and then finishing it off with these beautiful studded gladiator sandals from River Island, perfect!
If the weather is actually pretty decent I would so consider this outfit, it's really minimal but as you know I love my statement necklaces so this would suit me so well.

I hope you enjoyed this post, especially as I haven't really done any fashion posts recently.. I need to get back to the fashion side of this blog haha!

As I mentioned in my last post I have a massive deadline looming, so blogging hasn't been my main focus but as I have completed all the uni work I wanted to get done for today and more I decided to give you guys a little blog post on my most recent love that I actually received in my most recent GlossyBox and this is the Jelly Pong Pong Fairy Lashes Mascara.

Jelly Pong Pong is a brand that I was introduced to by GlossyBox and I had really high hopes and a little excitement when I saw I had received another product by them in my most recent GlossyBox and to my surprise I have literally fallen in love with this mascara.

Although this mascara is called 'Fairy Lashes', they describe it as 'not for the faint hearted'. Their first ever mascara is designed to make your eyelashes flutter. The water resistant formula makes your eyelashes thicker and curvier whilst allowing them to feel soft and light.

I have to completely hold my hands up and say this mascara does exactly what it says it does. I have used this everyday as part of my daily make-up routine since I received this in my GlossyBox this month and love what it does for my lashes. I was a little skeptical when I first saw the brush on this mascara, as the brush doesn't look as if it would do a lot, but boy have I been proven wrong! This mascara lengthens and volumizes my lashes whilst giving them a slight lift and curl, which we all know can feel quite heavy on our lashes, but this honestly doesn't feel as if i'm wearing any mascara! Mind blown. Also the water resistant formula means that this mascara stays put all day and doesn't flake off at all which is a thumbs up in my books. I also really like that when I remove this mascara, normally using a face wipe it sort of crumbles up making it a little easier to remove but as it is a water resistant mascara it does take a little more work to take off.

I do think the £15 price tag is a little steep for this mascara, but I probably would consider re-buying this as I love it for those days where you really can't be bothered to wear much makeup.

So thats my review! Did any of you receive this mascara in your GlossyBox this month?

Even though I should be doing uni work, I felt I owed myself a little break whilst my dinner is cooking! I'm also super excited to have purchased this beauty box and as I couldn't contain my excitement any longer I felt it was only right to share this with you all!

I was super excited when I saw a few blogs over the past few days reviewing Selfridges beauty box for this summer and when I woke up to an email on Wednesday morning informing me that they were available to order I literally ordered one there and then as I know these things can sell out fairly quickly! To my amazement it was delivered the next day, top customer service points for Selfridges right there!

I love beauty boxes for various different reasons, the main being that you can learn so much about different brands and products as well as introducing you to brands that you may not have heard before not to mention the price of them is so worth it as you get your moneys worth and even more. As I had already read about this beauty box it wasn't much of a surprise as I already knew what products were in the box, which is one of the main reasons I ordered it as a lot of the products in this box I have been wanting to try for such a long time but some of the price tags are a little steep for my student budget! With this box being £25, compared to other beauty boxes out there some would consider this kind of pricey but the contents of the box add up to a total of around £70 if you were to buy the products individually which in my eyes is amazing!

For me the most exciting product in this box is the Bumble & Bumble Surf Spray which I have been wanting to try out for such a long time as i've heard such great things about it and I know it will be perfect for my hair on those days where I can't be bothered to spend ages styling it. Also in this beauty box is 30ml bottle of Caudalie Beauty Elixer Spray which again I have had my eye on for ages after seeing so many bloggers rave about it, the only thing i'm a little skeptical about is the smell.. it's a little overpowering for my liking but we shall see. The Models Own 'Bubblegum' Nail Varnish is a nice addition to this box, especially as it is from their newest range's the 'Ice Neon Collection'. The next two products are tanning products, which for someone like me who doesn't tan at all I ca find coming in useful. The first being the St Tropez Instant Glow Face Lotion which for sure will be useful when it comes to the time where I fake tan myself up as I always find my face a pain to do. The other product is the Lancaster Tan Maximizer which i'm not sure i'll get much use out of but it may help a little to moisturise my lovely burnt fair skin. The Molten Brown Blissful TempleTree Bath/Shower smells lovely and I can imagine it will make me feel really relaxed.. in fact I may use it in my bath I plan to have after my uni deadline is out of the way. I'm really intrigued by the Erborian BB Creme, as i'm not a big BB creme kind of girl but as the weather gets a little warmer I know i'm not going to want to be wearing a heavy face full of make-up so this will be nice on those days when I want a light coverage. I'm also really excited to try out the Tangle Teezer Aqua Splash as I try to avoid brushing my hair in the shower incase I cause damage to my hair and I think this will be an answer to my prayers as sometimes I really do need to brush my hair in the shower. The last product is a set of hair grips by Jane Tran, who I have never heard of but I may get some use out of them.

Hands down the best beauty box i've ever had the pleasure of enjoying and for £25 I cannot complain one bit. I will be reviewing pretty much everything from this beauty box and I will start to review products from my other beauty boxes as well, I don't really know why I haven't previously!

I finally decided it was about time I reviewed the Real Techniques Stippling Brush seeing as it is one of my most requested posts from you guys and seeing as my blog posts may be a little absent over the next few days due to my uni deadline I thought i'd give you guys a post that you have been asking me for :)

When I eventually got round to ordering my first bunch of Real Techniques brushes this brush was one that I added to my basket as a last minute buy due to so many bloggers and youtubers raving about it so I thought it was only right to have this in my collection.

This duo fibre brush is designed to create a high definition and air brushed finish with the use of all types of make-up. The dual fibres are the main aspect of this brush, as it applies whatever makeup product used lightly to the skin whilst the shorter bristles of the brush softens and stipples by taking away any excess product.

As I mentioned in one of my recent favourites post, I use both this brush and the RT Buffing Brush to apply liquid foundation but I hadn't really been using the Stippling Brush all that much so I decided to make sure I got good use out of both of the brushes by using the buffing brush for when I want a more full coverage and then using this brush for a more lighter and softer coverage. Since I have been doing this I have literally fallen in love with what this brush does for my skin, it takes my liquid foundation and applies it so evenly to my face whilst giving it a soft, airbrushed effect that leaves a really flawless finish to my face that feels really light, almost as if i'm not wearing that much foundation. I also love how soft this brush is especially as the bristles do look a little harsh and stiff but they are really soft and feels really smooth against the skin.

From what I have read about this brush it works really well also for applying cream based blushes, liquid and powder highlighters and apparently it works well for apply concealer also although I don't know how true this is.

So that's my review! Hope you are all well and also goodluck to anyone who is taking their exams at the moment!

These five products are those that I couldn't live without and ones that I use on a daily basis and will be cult products within my daily make-up routine for a long time to come.

Sleek Face Form Contour Palette: I've featured this on my blog a couple of times now and i'm sure many of you are aware of how much I love this product. The main reason I love it is because it's three, potentially four products in one. I use this on a daily basis but I mainly use the contour pressed powder to contour my cheek bones and then after use the highlighter powder to highlight my cheek bones and other areas of my face. I don't really use the blush all that much, only when I want to add a tint of pink to my cheeks but the shade is really nice and suits my skin tone really well. See a full review here.

Rimmel Soft Kohl Pencil Eyeliner: I have so much love for this product. It's been a part of my daily make-up routine for a good year or two now and I still have a good third of this pencil left! I use this on a daily basis on my upper waterline and sometimes on my lower waterline to add some dimension and definition to my lashes as they are naturally blonde. I just couldn't live without this product!

Nars Blush 'Luster':My first and at the moment only Nars product, but I couldn't look back since I treated myself to this a few months back. I love this shade ('Luster') as it adds a lovely bronze glow to my cheeks with a light shimmery finish which gives my face a really healthy look. I have used this as part of my daily make-up routine since they day I got this and nothing compares to this. I originally was going to purchase one of the Nars Bronzers but I went for this Luster blush instead as it was cheaper but still looks like a bronzer to me.

Blistex Relief Cream: Believe me when I say this is like a mini fix for dry and cracked lips! For as long as I can remember my lips have always been really dry and got somewhat worse last year due to some medication. I use this every morning and night to help moisturise my lips and to prep my lips before applying lipstick especially as some of my lipsticks really do dry my lips out but I never use this out in public as it is quite a thick sticky formula.

Collection 2000 Skyscraper Mascara:For a budget beauty brand, I really do love Collection 2000. Especially their Skyscraper Mascara, it does a really good job of separating and coating everyone of my lashes whilst also adding some length and lifting my lashes. Now I don't use this everyday anymore because I have almost used this up but whenever I got to Boots or Superdrug they don't have this mascara in stock or on display and it's driving me crazy because I love this so much! :(

So that's my top five beauty products!

What are yours?

Hope you're all well and I also wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone of my followers as this little blog reached 300 followers last night!

As every beauty lover and Benefit lover out there knows, Elle magazine's freebie for their April issue was a mini version of Benefit's best selling product their 'They're Real!' mascara which is also named the no.1 best selling mascara in the UK!

I know a lot of bloggers have been posting their own thoughts on this product recently but I also really wanted to give you guys my own review of this product as it's a product that I have been wanting to try out for ages and now that I finally have it's like I want to share my excitement and the experience!

Benefit describes this mascara as a mascara that is beyond belief, that lengthens, curls, volumises, lifts and separates the lashes making your lashes appear fake when really they're real! The brush is specifically designed to maximise the performance of the long lasting formula to enhance your natural lashes, revealing lashes that you never knew you had by giving you luxurious, silky lashes that won't smudge, clump or dry out.

Looking at how Benefit describes this mascara I can definitely agree with them, you would not believe how long my lashes looked after I applied it, honestly it looked like I had fake eyelashes on. The brush definitely helps to add volume to your lashes and lifting them up to appear even longer whilst also separating the lashes and giving them a fanned out effect that you would normally associate with false eyelashes.

I have somewhat mixed reviews on this product because when I first tried it I wasn't overly wowed. Yes it did do exactly what it said on the packaging but I felt that it made my lashes feel really heavy and I don't know I just didn't know what to think about it but i've kind of grown to really love this product now that i've found my own method of using it. I normally will apply my everyday mascara to my lashes and then finish them off with this to add some definition to my lashes but I do not go anyway near my lower lashes with this product. It drys really quick and also I find stays put all day and even into the evening which is really good for a mascara as I find some tend to flake off or wear away as the day goes on but it does take some effort to take off. Overall I am really impressed with this product and I would definitely recommend it as this is probably one of the first mascara's that i've come across that does a really good job of lengthening and volumising my lashes without applying half of the mascara to my eyelid haha!

The only downside to this product for some people is the price with the mini version normally retailing for around £9 and the full size retailing for £19.50, which in my eyes isn't all that much if you compare it to high end brand prices which can be really pricey and for something you know is going to work it's not like you're wasting your money.

So that's my review! Did any of you manage to get your hands on this copy of Elle?

Today I thought i'd do a little post on my favourite nail varnishes as i've been meaning to do this post for a while and I thought today would be perfect for it as this marks my 100th blog post!!!

Even though I love having my nails painted, I don't have my nails painted all that much because I can't wear nail varnish for work, so whenever i'm not working I take every opportunity to paint my nails! I always find that when I buy a new nail varnish i'll use it once or twice and then it won't get used for ages as I always go back to these five shades and kind of forget about all of the others.

The first two of my five favourite shades are both pastel shades which I love, I even wear these in the winter just to mix it up a bit and I prefer to wear pastel shades to kind of show a more girly side of me.

The first shade is Revlon Charmingwhich is a really nice pastel lilac colour which I picked up last summer and I have not regretted this purchase as this is my favourite nail varnish out of all the ones I own. I also love this nail varnish as I only need two coats and it lasts pretty well.

The next shade is Rimmel 'Sweet as Sugar' which is a really pretty pastel light blue which I believe I picked up during a 3for2 offer and the shade just instantly caught my eye. Now sometimes light pastel blues can look white but this one doesn't at all and I love the shade a lot! I sometimes find this one can be a pain to apply but other times it's fine and it does last a good amount of time.

The next three shades are more darker shades compared to the two pastel shades previous and I wear these all year round as well, I don't really follow the wearing dark shades in the winter thing.

The next shade is Topshop Awolwhich is a really pretty cobalt blue shade which I reviewed here and this is another one of my favourite favourite shades and I have been wearing this shade so much recently. I will say the formula can be pretty crap and it does chip quite easily but I find if I use a good top coat it helps to make it last long.

Next up in Rimmel Sky High which is a really pretty turquoise blue shade which I actually bought from Primark! I love this shade as it adds a nice pop of colour and I find turquoise is a really pretty nail colour in general. I also love the 60 Seconds range from Rimmel as they do dry super quick and also have a nice glossy shine finish to them.

The last shade is Essie Recessionista which was one of my first Essie shades and it's a really nice dark berry/maroon shade which is different from the blue/green/purple shades I normally wear on my nails but I find the colour so pretty. The formula of Essie polishes we all know isn't all that great as it does chip easily but again a good topcoat does help this.

So those are my five favourite nail varnishes! I hope you all enjoyed this post and I hope you're all well!

So this morning I was woken to knocking on the door, it was the postman with this months GlossyBox! I've been super excited about this months box as it is GlossyBox's second birthday this month so with this months box i've been quite intrigued to see what products would be in the boxes with it being a birthday box and all!

With it being GlossyBox's second birthday this months box is like a birthday present box but for us from GlossyBox to say thank you for all the support from us lovely subscribers over the past two years. In order for them to say thank you this months box is packed of their most trusted and beloved brands, how exciting!! Also can I just point out how cute the little booklet is this month, I love how it has a watercolour effect to it and the little message at the bottom!

Also how cute is the wrapping paper, i'm such a geek when it comes to illustrated designs on things!

What an exciting box! Here is what I received in this months GlossyBox:

Awapuhi Wild Ginger Shine Spray:It's safe to say I haven't ever heard of this brand nor have I come across a shine spray, hmmm to the GlossyBox booklet. This spray is said to leaves all hair types soft, silky and hydrated with ingredients proven to restore weak and damaged hair. This appeals to me so much, especially as it says it is proven to restore damaged hair which I bang on about how damaged my hair is all the time so i'm quite excited to try this.

Beautiful Movements Prime & Create Mixing Medium: Again another brand I haven't heard of before but apparently this is a new just launched product. This product is said to be a multi tasking product with it being a base primer and also can be mixed with mineral based products to turn them into cream products such as powders, blushes and eyeshadows. I'm not too sure what to think of this, I need to for sure try it out!

Collection (2000) Fast Stroke Eyeliner:I quite glad this product is in this months box, although it's quite a cheaper end product it is for sure one of my trusty favourites and i've not long ran out of my current one of these eyeliners. It's super pigmented and drys really quickly and is also waterproof meaning no smudging! It's also super small so would fit perfectly in your bag whatever the size.

Headline Colours Poolside Party Nail Varnish: Another brand I don't think i've heard of but I love a good nail varnish. This one is from Headline Colours new limited edition Poolside Party collection and are said to be super pigmented with an intense colour and gloss with added UV absorbers which means less chipping and flaking. I'm sold, if this nail varnish does what it says I may invest in more of these. I received a really nice light blue colour which doesn't have the name on it so I can't tell you the shade name, boo.

Jelly Pong Pong Fairy Lashes Mascara: This brand was featured in a previous GlossyBox and I was quite excited to see another product from them in this months box. This mascara is said to be hardwearing, waterproof, long lasting and feather light making it feel as if you're not wearing any mascara. It is also said to be non clumping but still lengthening and creates great volume. I love a good mascara so i'm excited to try this one out!

Also in this months box as an extra gift from GlossyBox are some travel nail files which you can break off and use on the go, very handy indeed!

I'm actually really pleased with this months box, especially as all the products really do appeal to me and I think I will genuinely use every single product and enjoy using it. It seems that GlossyBox just seems to be getting better and better since the January box!

Hello everyone, I hope you have all had a wonderful weekend with whatever you got up to. Just wanted to make a quick post tonight to introduce the new layout which went live earlier this afternoon if you hadn't already noticed it.

It was a total spur of the moment thing as it's been about two months since I last changed the layout and I thought it was about time that it could do with a little update but I didn't want to change it too much as a lot of you have commented on how you liked the simplicity of my previous layout. So yeah, I changed the header font and made it a little more brighter adding a somewhat spring/summery feel seeing as it is spring now and I also changed the sidebar titles and content colours to match in with the new header colours. Like I said I didn't want to change it too much so I kept all post widths and fonts all the same as I was pretty happy with how that was all looking. I've also added a little 'tags' section on the lower part of the sidebar just to help you guys narrow down the type of posts you want to read.

I'm trying to keep a continuous theme through all of my posts with the photo editing all matching to somewhat help to establish the blog and it's fluidity. Hopefully I can improve my photo editing skills over the summer as well when I have more time, even though i'm quite pleased with it, I do think there are sometimes where it could be a lot better but I just can't do anymore to it because I don't know how to approach it.

So thats the new layout! I hope you guys like it and please let me know what you think of it as i'd love your guys feedback.

Today i've got another review for you guys as I featured these products in my April Favourites post and a few of said you hadn't heard of this new range from L'oréal Elvive so I thought i'd do a review on both the shampoo and conditioner from this range and just share how I have got on with these products.

The L'oréal Elvive Smooth & Polish range is designed to be used on fine to normal hair which can be often wispy and lacking softness. Enriched with keratin polish to smooth strand by strand and to polish away wisps and flyaways whilst also calming static. It is said to have a weightless result from the camellia extract enriched formula to soften the hair and to give a weightless feeling, flowing finish and silky to touch.

As my hair has been lacking some much needed nourishment for quite sometime my quest in finding the perfect hair care products has proved somewhat difficult. When I first saw the advert this new range I immediately knew that I needed to at least give it a try as I liked the idea of this range smoothing strand by strand and my hair fits the type of hair this range is designed for as it is sometimes wispy, static and lacking softness.

I was so excited to see what this shampoo did for my hair as I often find that shampoo's for damaged hair always work really well on the more damaged parts of my hair but leave my roots kind of greasy/shiny which anyone would agree is somewhat annoying. This shampoo however doesn't do that which is why I love this range and I think will be a solid staple in my haircare routine for a long time. I wash my hair with this every 2-3 days, applying it all over my hair and making sure it lathers up well getting right into every bit of my hair I then rinse it a few times to make sure I get all the shampoo out of my hair. Once I have rinsed I can already feel that the shampoo has worked well as my hair feels really soft even though it is wet. I then follow this with the conditioner.

As the shampoo works so well I was excited to see if the conditioner would add to the smoothing and polishing but focusing more on the lower ends of my hair as I only ever apply conditioner to the lower ends of my hair. I'm glad to say that this conditioner does just that, it gives the lower ends of my hair which are the most damaged a really good polish and leaves my hair feeling so smooth and so nourished. Like I said I follow from the shampoo with this conditioner, applying it to the bottom lengths of my hair and leaving it on for at least 3 mins to get the conditioner working and I sometimes comb through my hair but not always as this can cause more damage. I then rinse the conditioner off and do a full rinse of all of my hair just incase I have left any shampoo or conditioner in my hair.

Once I have washed my hair I let it dry naturally after using a few leave-in products and I'm not kidding my hair has never felt so soft and so nourished before using these products. It does exactly what it says on the bottle 'hair looks perfectly polished and smooth' which is such a reassuring thing knowing that I haven't wasted my money on these products and they give my hair the lift it needs. It just shows that you don't need to spend stupid amounts of money on products that actually work as both the shampoo and conditioner are priced at just £1.99, bargain!

So that's my review, I hope you guys find this somewhat useful and maybe even try this range out for yourself.

As i've seen a few bloggers doing the 'What's in my iPhone' tag I thought i'd jump on the bandwagon and do it as well as a bit of fun and if you're as nosey as I am then you'll probably enjoy this a little bit.

(Just to say, sorry for the random yellow tone to some of these images. My camera for some reason reacted oddly to my phone screen).

So I have the iPhone 4 in black which I bought off my stepdad after he upgraded to the iPhone 5, but I had an iPhone 3GS in white prior to this one and the 4 is definitely a step up from the 3GS but I do miss having a nice white phone :( My contract is up early July so i'm kind of stuck on what phone to get next as I for sure want to stick with an iPhone but I don't know if the 5 is worth it all that much, we shall see. Even though you can't see in these pictures my phone is pretty battered with chips in both top corners of the screen from dropping it but for some reason this phone is invincible!

So this is the case that I currently have on my iPhone and no it's not a genuine Cath Kidston case but it's just as good. I got this from miniinthebox.com for something stupid like £2 and they have loads of iPhone cases for really cheap prices but it did take a few weeks to ship but I couldn't complain for the price. Looking at these pictures I think I should get a new case as it's so battered I didn't even realise haha!

On my lock screen I have an instragram snap I took when I was in London back in March of the London Eye, Big Ben and The Thames which was one of my favourite days whilst I was in London and I love the picture. I change it quite often normally but it's been like this for a good month or so now.

My background is the same Cath Kidson floral print as my phonecase which i'm obsessed with at the moment, it's even my twitter background.

On my first page is all the apps that I use the most with my Messages, Twitter, Phone and Music on the main bar thingy at the bottom and then things like Instagram, Facebook, Tumblr etc near the top of the first page as well. I'm not one of those people that puts everything in category folders, I just like it to be plain and simple.

On the second page is just the apps I don't use as often and the bog standard apps like my Settings and then all the Utility apps like Calculator, Maps and Notes are all in a folder so they aren't clogging up space seeing as I hardly ever use them. For some reason my Snapchat is on the page, probably because I couldn't be bothered to reorganise the front page when I downloaded it but I actually use this app a lot, maybe I should move that haha! I also have Unidays which is handy for instore discount, Halifax for on the go banking and eBay, gotta love eBay!

Now onto my favourite/most used apps!

First up is Instagram, probably my favourite app! I love Instagram it's like a life story in cute edited picture form and no i'm not one of those #tagforlikes twats, god I hate when I see about 100 hashtags on one picture (no offence) but I do admit I do hashtag when I feel appropriate.

(You can follow my instagram: @charl_morgan)

My next favourite app is Twitter, god I am a twitter addict! I feel sorry for all of you who follow me because I can rant when I put my mind to it, but I also love it because it's so much easier to keep up with my friends and also connecting with fellow bloggers without a heap of info you don't need to know haha!

(You can follow my twitter: @charl_morgan38)

Next app is Tumblr, I only got a Tumblr about a year ago but I have full on got into it. I could literally sit on it for hours reblogging anything that has caught my eye or brings me some sort inspiration. I normally use this app only when i'm not on my laptop or i'm bored on my lunch break.. it's a time passing app thats for sure!

(My tumblr is http://charlllllll.tumblr.com)

Now I wouldn't say Facebook is one of my favourite apps but I do go on it everyday to have a nose to see what people are up to but I hardly ever post anything unless it's pictures from a night out or i've checked in at a gig or something like that. I do like to also use Facebook chat to keep in touch with people but I normally use the Messenger app rather than the Facebook app as it's easier.

Last but not least, Snapchat! I was somewhat peer pressured into getting Snapchat but i'm kind of glad I did because it is a fun app and I do end up laughing out loud in public a lot thanks to this app and my friends beautiful faces (not, haha). I do also use it as a form of communication sometimes but i'm kind of going off snapchat at the moment, maybe i'll rekindle my love for it soon.

So that is my iPhone! From doing this blog post i've realised how boring my iPhone really is, but I find it pointless having apps that I never use clogging up space and memory that could be used for other things like music seeing as I do have a lot of music on my iPhone.

I know what you're all thinking 'she's so late to this hype' and I can totally hold my hands up to this but for some reason the Rimmel Apocalips just didn't seem to appeal to me even when I swatched them I just couldn't justify buying them but today whilst having a little browse at the Rimmel stand in my local Tesco I saw that these were reduced to £6 and they had a 3for2 offer on all Rimmel products so I thought i'd treat myself seeing as these are the only beauty products I will purchasing this month (damn car insurance!).

Unfortunately my local Tesco only had these three colours so I didn't have much to choose from but luckily out of all the Apocalips shades these are the three that I would have picked up so I can't really moan to much.

The first shade I picked up was Apocaliptic which I would describe as a vibrant berry/hot pink shade which is probably my favourite shade out of the three as you all know how much I love my berry shades. The next shade I got was Celestial which is a a very nudey pink shade which really appealed to me as it's very similar to my Rimmel Vintage Pink lipstick which I love also. The last shade I picked up was Stellar which is vibrant red/coral colour which I wasn't too sure about when I first looked at it but after swatching it I thought I could definitely grow to like it and would look really nice during the summer.

As I only bought these today I haven't had chance to really test out these lip lacquers but I will be reviewing them as soon as I really tested these out for you guys!
